An example of how the growth of tourism in an LIC or NEE helps to reduce the development gap. (Jamaica, West Indies) Example: Tourism in Jamaica Location: West Indies An example of how the growth of tourism in an LIC or NEE helps to reduce the development gap. Jamaica is one of the largest islands in the West Indies with a population of 2.7 million.

Other areas remain poor with limited resources and facilities. 2
